Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesB
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Dylan McMahon at the Round 6 slot, a reach of 74 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is McGlothern. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick No. 30 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
A clean, defensible pick in the 41st overall pick with a little surplus value in Jordan Morgan. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at slot 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91
Rnd3
Max Melton
Value with a capital V on Max Melton in pick 91, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Nice patience on Jaden Hicks, who had no business lasting to the 93rd pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick98
Rnd3
Ray Davis
The board had cheaper options than Ray Davis at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A reach for Ben Sinnott in pick 119; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad in No. 131 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick133
Rnd4
Michael Pratt
By-the-book stuff, Michael Pratt at the 133rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
No edge and no loss on Malik Mustapha in Round 5, Pick 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick171
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in slot 171 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
They took Khristian Boyd at par in pick No. 172, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
A quiet steal in the 195th overall pick: Ty'Ron Hopper for less than the market said. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick202
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
They will replay Dwight McGlothern at Round 6, Pick 27 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210
Rnd6
Tip Reiman
They robbed the room for Tip Reiman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219
Rnd6
Dylan McMahon
They talked themselves into Dylan McMahon at the 219th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
A real head-scratcher, Trey Taylor in slot 245 is miles ahead of his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick255
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
No drama and no debate, Sam Hartman went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
Nothing to complain about; Kimani Vidal went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257
Rnd7
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at pick 257 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
